DIY: Crayon Lipstick! (Non-Toxic) + DEMO and Special Guest!

[@RanndiMarie01]

The Castrol oil isn't needed that's only if you want it to he shiny and not matte. You can also use coconut oil instead since you can usually find that easier.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Aw great! I'm so glad you like my videos. XOXO

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

@alisha pena You can use coconut oil.

[@torieslife]

where can I get coconut oil

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

They usually sell coconut oil at any grocery store.

[@leilaalysha]

Junior Marquis Walmart or craft store

[@nazmamulla2041]

No it's not toxic coz sometimes people eat crayons(babies) so they make it non toxic so it is usable for children (yes I've eat it before when I was small and I'm fine nothing happened) so it's completely safe

[@nicolemoody2355]

nazma mulla lol i've eaten a crayon before to :)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. XOXO

[@mishumydog]

No yellow 😓

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

We didn't do yellow just because it's such a light pigment, we were afraid it wouldn't show up. :(

[@mishumydog]

oh

[@kaylagaming6701]

You can make the yellow more opaque by adding less of the other stuff or add more yellow like I said before

[@thaophi2011]

"Girl who has, homemade lipstick!" Cracked me up

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

@lilmiszblondexd thank you! (:

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I found both ingredients at my local health food store.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Haha, of course! I try to answer as many comments as I can.

Joseph Yakim hi♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I didn't expect the purple to be so awesome. I agree! Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try that when I make them again sometime.

[@robyn2oo3]

The girl wiv red hair rocked all of de colour de other 1 looked terrible

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You could try, but I'm not sure how well that would work. It might make the colors very translucent. I'd try sticking with another natural butter such as maybe mango butter or something along those lines.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

It's actually extremely fun to make! Do ittttt! :D Glad you liked this video! XOXO

[@lilmiszblondexd]

the little corner side clips were awesome, good job.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You could try using olive oil or vegetable oil as a replacement for castor oil. For a replacement for shea butter, I'd stick with something in the natural butter family. For example, if you found coconut butter or something along those lines, I'd use that.

[@g1ng3rsn4ps]

The purple and blue are fab! I looooove purple lippies. But if you want them to be not so sheer/glossy. Just use coconut oil only in the formula. You get the lipstick consistency and the moisture without allllll the oils and the dilution of the color :)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

We had that some problem. I suggest using cold water so it hardens and then a sponge with an exfoliating side on it.

[@thecozyconstellation]

you guys are adorable! plus I love the names you gave your lipsticks!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Thank you (:

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Depending on what you use you can. I would recommend using ingredients close to the original ones.

[@ryanmeldrum3202]

instead of caster oil and shea butter i used coconut oil and it worked good to

[@kanylaphillips162]

Or petroleum jelly

[@cammie609]

Great color names, and a great idea. I babysit my BF's daughter, and this looks like a fun activity for us to do together. Thank you both for the idea.

[@leith3061]

omg love all the vibrant colors and especially the greens and blues!!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I honestly can't quite remember what pack/crayons I used. All I remember is it was like a fruit themed box. We also bought a box of the original 8 colors which for some reason didn't come with black or brown. "You Blue It" I believe is just blue, "Rediculous" is just red, and "Orange You Glad We Didn't Say Banana" is just orange. The other colored crayons I believe had some sort of fancy name.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You could try. I haven't tried it so I don't know how it will come out.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Absolutely positive. You have to make sure the box says so.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Most likely, yes. Test it out and see how it works!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You can find measuring spoons pretty much anywhere. I would look at your local grocery store. Castor oil I found at a health food store. So if you have a health food store near you, I'd look there for castor oil.

[@kimortiz1572]

You guys really are great together. You kept me entertained!!! lol

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You can find Castor Oil and Shea Butter at your local health food store. (: Glad you liked it!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

If anything, since your melting the crayons together into a liquid, I think a white crayon would turn the color into a tint instead of a vibrant hue.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

This may sound really strange but only certain ones of mine smelled like crayon. The raspberry and purple colored ones only had a small hint of the crayon smell.

[@krazykatskrafts4002]

Great tutorial! I love all the pink and red colours, but the purple was definitely my fave! And the blue and green are fab for halloween! I am so using this method!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

So glad you like it! I totally agree. I actually think the purple is m favorite too! (:

[@krazykatskrafts4002]

:D

[@evenguyenly5569]

add some white to the mixture to make a matt color. it will prevent it being transparent. ;)

[@yellowduck2728]

It was good seeing you actually putting them on not just pics of them on and even better with 2 ppl diff comlexions. Great work :)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Wish more people saw it like this! Thank you very much! (:

[@allieg6401]

Amanda Nicole DIY Welcome :) It was good to see how easy the product went on :)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Try using cocoa butter as a replacement for shea butter and vegetable oil for the castor oil. Hope that helps. (:

[@raisedintheboonies]

You both are so pretty. But I swear EVERY color looked AWESOME on that red head!

[@Usagisxlove]

Actually, they've found lead in a large majority of popular commercial lipsticks. It's not necessarily about saving money. It's just a safe alternative to brand names so you know what's in it. Crayola crayons contain only paraffin wax and natural pigments which not only makes it safe (commercial lipsticks contain these very same ingredients as well) but the colors actually come out brighter and more defined. Crayons are made with the knowledge kids are likely to eat them and so are nontoxic.

[@sesshomarulover0103]

If you want them to be darker just change the amount of ingredients. Such as use a full crayon and only half a teaspoon of the shea butter and the castor oil. The pigments will come out darker, and the opposite if you want them lighter.

[@ArtistinWonderlands]

Ahhh Princess Peach massacre!!! XD I love it haha, she is the worst! She almost always wins lol, you guys are so funny together, you remind me of myself, and my best friend when I was a little younger ^___^

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Right?! Haha :D Thanks!

[@mhmaddie9582]

She looked so cool in the purple nurple

[@ilyanahabsjah58]

What color u use? Like the pink could be carnation pink then the red could be the red color?

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

To answer your other post asking about the safety of this project, yes it is absolutely safe if you use the Crayola. People on here keep posting stuff saying it's unsafe and just grabbing facts off the internet just to scare people. The thing that people fail to understand is that's what the media does. They try to scare people with false facts. Just a little factual information but Crayola crayons contain paraffin wax just like normal lipstick does, but what crayons don't have like drugstore lipstick does is all those harsh chemicals. That's why crayon lipstick is pretty ideal to try out. Lastly, if I tried the crayon lipstick and am fine today, I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless you have a certain allergy to any of the ingredients used. Just wanted to clear that up. Hope this helps! (:

[@danielladeleon2300]

I make these alot and all I use is coconut oil and vanilla it works just the same but you can actually see the color better

[@brookedunlap4710]

vanilla extract?

[@nathashabanghit3499]

the green and the blue color you can use that for a cream eyeliner :)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

The shea butter is from my local health food store. I would look in any kind of health food store/coop.

[@aqualuna1972]

I love how people are coming up with ways to save money and look good

[@cyrvanessa]

you can probably reduce the castor oil and shae butter to make the color less transparent

[@mynameisnotskrillex5879]

wow putting it in the pill container is a good idea! i wanted to try it before but i had no good container but now i will just but one of those. btw both of u look good in the purple!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Yea it's definitely much easier to find then smaller single containers and thank you! (:

[@alexisangelich6611]

ik when i first made pink it came out as almost nothing but when it is like a lil bit skushie/melted it works wonderfully

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I'm not sure if that will work or not since I haven't played around with the recipe, but it might!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

At Target they only had some fruit themed pack that had very summery colors and than the other pack didn't have black for some reason! :(

[@astrangeone]

Great idea to use a daily pill container to make a rainbow of 'em! I don't wear lipsticks daily, but these would be great for halloween or even for special ocassions. (The last time I bought makeup, it was foundation/eye shadow for a wedding!)

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Definitely what I was thinking. Also perfect for people who are into cosplay. :D

[@prettyplantcosmo]

WOOT! Short and sweet response. :) I'm definitely going to try this with my friend. You two have the best lips, by the way.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I actually did use Crayola. Did she use the same ingredients?

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

We got ours from Harmons and a dollar store. I definitely recommend looking in a dollar store since it's cheaper.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I wish we did too! Our boxes didn't have black for some reason.. :(

[@Drissy.]

You guys did a fabulous great job with the colors

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Thank you! (:

[@SaintAstra]

Adding a bit of white crayon might help to make it more opaque.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Maybe another oil like almond oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil should work. Also, try using cocoa butter. It is pretty much the same thing and has similar thickness and moisturizing properties. Not to mention it's pretty cheap. Hope that helps. (:

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Ahhhhh yes

[@kaylagaming6701]

Ok for those of you that don't know you don't actually have to cake it on all you have to do is add more crayon or less of the other stuff and to drown out the 'crayon' smell just add a few drops of vanilla essence/extract but don't put too much in and it smells really nice

[@gabriellakoupiaris]

I LOVE the purple that you made!!

[@adiagarrett5230]

Can you use coco butter if you don't have that other stuff for the lip gloss

[@kaitlynvanga8805]

I like all of the lipsticks you made. I will definitely have to try it out

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Thanks (: It definitely is a fun project to experiment with.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Yes you can.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

It does not. Just wait for the wax to harden and then try scraping it off.

[@oliviapham3341]

you can go to lush and get a lip tint and the colors are soooo cute!!!!

[@brookedunlap4710]

I watched another tutorial on how to do this, but I used extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil. It made my lips soft and smooth. The colors were pretty, but it didn't come up on my lips. I might swap out the olive oil and try shea butter to see what happens. Didn't think to give them names though.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Yea, olive oil is good to use for moisture purposes but I've heard that it kinda cancels out the pigment of the "lipstick." Also, it might be the matter of fact two oils were used instead of one. We were just being silly giving them names but it definitely is fun to do so.

[@brookedunlap4710]

Yeah I should have known seeing as your not supposed to put olive oil in your hair after dying it. The names were cute though. I'll name mines on the next batch maybe.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Haha thanks! (: I didn't know that but I never have done that regardless. You learn something new everyday.

[@Lovemustash]

I loved how the baby blue looks

[@xoxogirl3861]

U can use Vaseline or petrolatum jelly instead of shay butter

[@makaylasvlogs7846]

Nice colors! I love the rainbow colors!

[@jonniegilbert1721]

hey guys try using olive oil a tiny bit of butter if not any and the crayon its what i do the colors are more vibrant

[@kiraevenson9062]

also to add more colour add a little bit of eye shadow then it will have more of a showy colour

[@oxoxpinkieoxox]

you too are so pretty! especially the one with the scarf

[@BeautyBodySpirit]

glad u guys had fun doing that im so going to try it. and cute names for ur colors btw =)

[@ileanmarie5346]

you only need castor oil if you want your lipstick to be shiny. you can always use coconut oil too instead of shea butter

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You could, but I don't think the colors will come out as pigmented.

[@SaintAstra]

I've never tried it, so I don't know. Making a white lipstick and then applying the colors over it would help, or white eyeliner used only for lips would work so it's not too gloppy with multiple layers.

[@yukijirei1617]

What can i use aside of pure shea butter,coconut oil and castor oil

[@audranadhifa]

what can you substitute for the oil and shea butter? and can you add vanilla extract for flavor?

[@NYandAZ]

can you add essential oils to make them smell/taste good? Like a citrus scent or minty scent? Just wondering if it would alter the formula. Thanks!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I'm sure you could, you just have to be careful with essential oils due to allergic reactions and they are extremely potent when it comes to smell. The oils definitely won't make it taste good, just smell nice.

[@JulesHunterHillBigSkyBeauty]

Baking extracts hon. Yes..you can. Im 46 and was doing this when I was these girls ages....but we made YUMMY ones..lol

[@seventeencaratdiamond]

What are the names of the crayola crayon colors that you used for each color? Especially the barbie world, princess peach massacre, rediculous, orange-you glad we didn't say banana, you blue it, and the raspberry color?

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Interesting thought! I should definitely test that out.

[@mrxanderboy]

Do you think if I put a little more crayon they will come out a little more pigmented?

[@chazzidyharper2550]

where did you find your little containers from?

[@madison2501]

What color did u use for the peach and redish one

[@saidabegum2885]

Could you show black and white lipstick

[@clintmcgraw]

you guys looked beautiful when you put the lipstick

[@zoereinolds2215]

"Bluesclues" it looks like they stopped breathing and their lips turned blue !XD But i loved this video !!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

We decided not to do yellow just because it's such a light color and would most likely have no pigment, which is no fun. :(

[@MizuPauz]

Maybe instead of caking on the lipstick, try using a bit more of the crayon in the mixture. I don't know if it will work, but it's what I would try

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Again, this isn't my recipe so I didn't know better.

[@MizuPauz]

Well it was just meant to be a helpful suggestion~

[@道枝りか]

I'm in Thailand, these lipsticks are very hard to find. I found this video and I'm very very grateful.

[@elliselove1]

does color last on lips or do they smear off cakey

[@marthaaaaa48]

Where can you get Shea Butter and Castor Oil?

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Most definitely. I agree with that.

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

I like that one! It's a little different from what people are suggesting. Not to mention it has the name of my favorite limited edition Baby Lips in it. :D

[@tikar8982]

You girls are too funny ... I use coconut oil and a few drops of mint or vanilla (for taste factor) I stick to a half tsp of coconut oil and add extra crayon for more pop. Great vid! I like that with this, I can make more of a gloss? Anyway, thanks and Happy New Year!!!

[@paulwilkinson7140]

e got a good idea if you have to pore the liptick in the container and you get o much left over why dont you make it in the container if your have a heat proof container. think about it you can get more out of it then normal

[@laceyalloria2848]

ive been making crayon lipstick for about a week now and i find like pinks and yellows dont really show up on you're lips and can get really blotchy ..... Help!!!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

You have to pour it out of the pot into a small container as soon as the crayon is done completely melting. Otherwise, it will harden.

[@hanannano21]

is the sea butter necessary? can use just a coconut oil ?

[@ashleyhyden4136]

Some didn't come out as pigmented or bright as you expected cause of that oil you used. It was too oily for the colors to show the actual brightness. Next time just use some coconut oil. It works fabulous and any color you pick will be very bright!

[@AmandaNicoleDIY]

Ashley Hyden Thank you for your input! I will have to try that next time. (:
